▲ visits Jiang Huaiwei to come to a factory
This since colourful comes car first large-scale open to media factory looks around, also be the Li Bin after appearing on the market first large-scale accept media publicly to interview, backside intention is quite apparent -- pass the engineering capability that reveals oneself, tall canal that expedites a party to an undertaking and quality of product of be assigned personal responsibility for to solve the movement such as doubt namely, come the public opinion disturbance with the closest slow down.
In communication process, all sorts of doubt that Li Bin responds to the outside in detail not only, divulge the model is plan of research and development, right ideal is made had a comment, cry more publicly board tesla, in weighing its, area sales volume does not chase after the country to go up forever colourful comes, still express " colourful will the car appeared on the market in July and appeared on the market in September the result is very different " etc, gold sentence again and again.
▲ Li Bin is communicated in the spot and media
One, doubt of response semi-manufactured goods: Intelligent report motor-car is forever " semi-manufactured goods "By September, have ES8 car advocate hair small gain calls car screen abrupt Hei Bing, subsequently the car criticizes a person 38 send long article of 10 thousand words to weigh ES8 is semi-manufactured goods, cause intense discussion.

Li Bin expresses, wei Laicheng identifies software system to be put in a few problems to mix optimize a space, subsequently outward also bound accuses cicada to improve with upgrade plan, dan Libin also states software issue puts in two big reasons at the same time:
It is the software of electric car, 3 report mix intelligence to drive automatically the design that the system uses OTA progressively iteration, because this can not wait for software system to achieve 100 roll out again when cent is perfect, choose to be in however system probably 60 minutes when with respect to consign, and ceaseless iteration.

"If the first IPhone is released when ask according to today's software standard apple, the first IPhone cannot be released forever. " say of Li Bin citing, "So intelligent car is semi-manufactured goods forever. "So intelligent car is semi-manufactured goods forever..
2 it is ES8 used a lot of new chip, for example Mobileye EyeQ4, so systematic development also encountered a lot of new issues, created current problem finally.
Li Bin thinks, the software related ES8 and travel achieves 100 minutes basically, recreation and convenience sex software are in 60 minutes or so probably, existence optimizes a space. But emphasize at the same time, what the crucial hardware such as the chip of ES8, screen chooses is the product that accords with car compasses, to last iteration has become a basis.
In the car nevertheless the thing looks, the software system of intelligent car should not be it is a foundation with 60 minutes, impose the condition of cent gradually through OTA next. And should be like go to school, one grade obtains preexistence 80 minutes or 100 minutes, go again next 2 grade obtain 80 minutes.
Car thing thinks, the apple goes to school this kind namely actually upgrade mode, a few dead machine, card also has appeared to wait for detail problem suddenly really when nevertheless new version of its IOS system upgrades.
To driving automatically system, the strategy that Li Bin weighs to colourful comes should be guarded a lot of, 1 quarter end can release predicting next year to be assisted automatically for the most part drive systematic function, open more again to the end of the year.
2, consign plum Bin made ES6 next year in June board teslaLi Bin gave off the delivery situation chart of ES8 in the spot, this year 6, 7, 8, 4 9 months part consign 100, 381, 1121 with 1766 cars, add up to 3368 cars.
Li Bin cries directly in the spot board tesla, call ES8 the first quarter in consign (3 quarters) the consign number that sales volume had exceeded tesla, and although Model 3 implementation is homebred 2019, tesla also also is not chased after forever in China on the sales volume that colourful comes to.
In fact, this is not Li Bin first time " open fire " , he still goes up to express motor-car of homebred low report publicly in congress before this is the rubbish, face before Xu Heyi of boreal steam president say colourful will than boreal steam the future waits.
Does Li Bin cry board is the bottom gas of tesla in? He gives out 2 crucial ground:
1, electric car emphasizes intelligence mainland is changed, colourful will have native land advantage.
2, colourful comes ES6 year also meet next year consign, the model making a car that compares Model 3 has latent capacity more.
Look in car thing, and the sales volume data that does not say tesla government did not announce Chinese division, sheet says Li Bin is used the most expensive the ES8 of 548 thousand follows a price to compare sales volume in 700 thousand tesla Model S of the left and right sides and Model X not fair, after all car is more inexpensive sales volume is larger, but two reason that he gives out or can hold water.
On one hand, existing product is in tesla to drive automatically wait for intelligence to change a respect to precede really, but in speech content of alternant, Internet is mixed applied side is far as homebred product. On the other hand, the SUV upsurge be obvious to all of domestic car city, colourful comes ES6 of the 2nd model is SUV, sheet says the model has latent capacity more than Model 3 really.
On model layout, li Bin divulges the research and development of ES6 is finished basically, predict at next year in June consign. Progress of the 3rd car is very great, and began the research and development of platform of the 2nd model work.
This year in October, the factory that colourful comes to special still to Jiang Huaiwei undertook transforming, produce ES6 to prepare for the quantity.

To this, li Bin divulges weighing Baillie Gifford is long term fund, have long-term contact all the time with colourful, investment colourful will value colourful to come just about 3, development program of 5 years.
3, colourful comes to what pass all car look forward to with 3 make love quadrilateralAfter Li Bin stands from Wei Laicheng, express want to pass all the time " production collaboration " (acting labour) the form solves manufacturing problem, car plant will look around in colourful of this second river the Huaihe River in, its reiterated this one point of view again, emphasize will undertaking continuously with production collaboration of Jiang Huai, ES6 also will be in this put into production.
▲ Jiang Huaiwei comes to a factory front door
Interesting nevertheless, there is media coverage to say colourful will had begun to build a plant oneself in Shanghai before this. And colourful comes is to returned high-key ground and Chang'an, wide steam to establish joint-stock company more, appeared to produce the circumstance that loves quadrilateral.
Will whether be about colourful propose factory and construction schedule issue oneself, li Bin is laughing to express to car thing after the spot hesitated, this problem is current and confidential, in appropriate when can undertake publicity.
And when refer aptitude problem, if the country unlocks aptitude to examine and approve,Li Bin says again, colourful will also can have application (application means need to build a plant) .
Combining Li Bin of the first problem " hesitant " the explanation with the 2nd problem, car thing figures its build plant item to should have been in the condition of the pretty close oneself.
About " Jiang Huaiwei comes " , " wide steam colourful comes " and " Chang'an colourful comes " similarities and differences, explanation of Li Bin criterion says Jiang Huai and colourful come is production collaboration only (acting labour) , and " wide steam colourful comes " and " Chang'an colourful comes " what understandable Cheng Wei will be established together with wide steam, Chang'an is new the company that build a car.
These two build car company newly to be able to come in colourful, besides wide steam, Chang'an establish a brand additionally to build a car, won't produce the model below Wei Laiqi, can share a few technologies of the parent company and resource nevertheless.
"You can understand them is colourful those who will participate in investment is small roc with power horse. " path of Li Bin citing, "Their fixed position is different, be aimed at the market of different level. Be aimed at the market of different level..
4, Li Bin unscrambles colourful to come speed: It is better to appeared on the market JulyColourful comes the car just holds water 3 years at present, its are exhibited at the Shanghai car April 2017 rolled out first model ES8, appear on the market at will announcing on December 16 in those days, began to have delivery in June from this year.
To traditional car look forward to, develop a car to be about to achieve 5 years time, hold water only why will colourful of 3 years you can achieve this kind of rate?
To this, li Bin explanation says colourful comes the core with rapid rate depends on his collateral development mode.

After Wei Laicheng stands there were 4 groups 2015 developing electric machinery, in those days 34 month are in again 4 ground establish medium, beautiful, heart, desk 4 groups begin to make archetypal car, the model plan that the portion chose ES8 finally in September 2015 produces model begin a quantity to produce, the mulish car of ES8 left in April 2016 run.
Production respect, jiang Huaiwei comes to a factory to still be during construction, colourful will was in Nanjing to build plant of a trial-produce in July 2016, with Jiang Huai the production group of the car grinds together hair production technological process and craft, undertake grooming to the production employee of car of river the Huaihe River, after waiting for Jiang Huaiwei to come to a factory to had been built, these reach the designated position quickly through groomed production employee begin a quantity to produce.

Research and development of this kinds of many group, multi-line and the way that large-scale much ground tests, can accelerate quantity of research and development to produce rhythm really, but weakness is apparent also, cost is higher also.
So why will Li Bin and colourful want to grab rate?
Car look forward to is built newly to need to grab in what often say stand firm before motor-car of report of intelligence of transition of traditional car look forward to, because this wants race against time besides this reason, li Bin also gave out in the spot straighter white answer, if,say can early delivery two months, mean Wei Laineng in the morning two months of city.
"Appeared on the market in July follow to but have,appeared on the market in September very big different. " Li Bin say.

Li Bin points out, what ideal production He Wei comes is completely diverse line, ideal is made have Chinese distinguishing feature very much, the number also has a characteristic very much interactively, there is give attention to two or morethings on cost, efficiency and function, if best position can be acquired in different market,had held out finally.
"Everybody is a new student, build a car newly saliva fight is not made between the company, " Li Bin is summed up, "Build car company newly to be able to one part comes down alive, but major metropolis has many challenges. But major metropolis has many challenges..
6, Jiang Huaiwei of seek by inquiry comes to a factory: Automation level is lofty not full load worksAfter having longer communication communication with Li Bin, outfit of the punch that car thing also enters plant of car of future of river the Huaihe River, solder and general assembly factory undertook visiting.

▲ Jiang Huaiwei comes to automobile body factory
But car thing also discovers, at present this factory interior still has the space of many obligate, show slightly swing for nothing, manufacturing rhythm also did not achieve full load status, sequel should return can farther promotion, the yield that finishs ES8 thereby can climb slope.
1, 7 old technology solve completely aluminous automobile body to produce a problem
